Chapter 84: Chapter 60: What do you want to do?
Yun Yuwan couldn’t help but ask, “Brother, are you very familiar with the girl who just called you?”
“A branch manager,” he responded succinctly.
She still wanted to inquire, “Did you promote her personally?”
Wen Yangzhi replied with a businesslike tone, “A junior from my past studies, very capable.”
So, he did promote her personally.
Hearing that it was a junior from his past studies, Yun Yuwan felt an even sharper twinge of jealousy: “Oh…”
“Brother, you wouldn’t happen to like her, would you?”
Wen Yangzhi glanced at her lightly, leaning against the chair, his voice devoid of emotional fluctuations but in an ordinary manner, “If that’s the case, judging by the length of acquaintance, I should fancy Lin Zhidong.”
Her worries dissolved into a smile.
He placed his phone on the table; Zhou Fei was still sending him ssages, updating him on the current situation, offering decisions, and asking if they were feasible.
Wen Yangzhi was still replying to her, and Yun Yuwan observed his expression, noting his mouth almost curving into a smile. However, the next second, his lips just tightened slightly, beads of lips applying a little force, muscles naturally contracting, creating a montary, almost-smiling gentle upward curl at the corners of his mouth.
Tightened lips ant unhappiness.
She breathed a sigh of relief and probed him, “Is this sister pretty?”
Without even looking up, he asked, “What are you trying to say?”
She pretended to have a good impression of the other party to tease him, “Her voice sounds nice; she must be a beauty. Plus, being a branch manager at such a young age, she must be a very confident and decisive ‘older sister’ type.”
He looked up at her, his brow bones high, making his eye sockets appear deep:
“What are you planning?”
She feigned nonchalance, “Nothing much, just figuring she’s probably a beautiful older sister.”
Wen Yangzhi held his phone, while ssages from the charming young lady kept coming.
He was just looking at Yun Yuwan, not caring about the continuous notifications on his phone.
Yun Yuwan felt she had overstepped, realizing she shouldn’t have asked so much about a work colleague.
Quietly, she closed her mouth, regretting her nosy and annoying questions.
He was already busy with work, and here she was, needlessly jealous and asking useless questions. He must be annoyed too.
He was still curious to hear what nonsense she’d say next, but she clamd up, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.
He countered, “Not talking anymore?”
Yun Yuwan pinched her mouth, indicating she wouldn’t bother him anymore.
Wen Yangzhi didn’t speak but held his phone, tapping beside the glass with his other hand, “Take a sip.”
“Why would I drink this?” she said dejectedly.
Wen Yangzhi was unsympathetic, “Aren’t you coughing?”
It then dawned on her that she had muffled a couple of coughs earlier, and he had left temporarily not to go to the bank but to pour her water?
Yun Yuwan hesitated, then took the cup of warm water, feeling brushed off by humanity, like a beggar not granted an audience, and sipped dejectedly.
Only when the warm water reached her mouth did she realize it was honey water, sweet and soothing.
But watching Wen Yangzhi continue to handle matters, glued to his phone, she couldn’t feel happy.
She had just seen the screens full of back-and-forth ssages and wondered if they chatted like this normally.
Facing soone of the sa age with so much in common, she felt it would be easy for feelings to develop over ti.
And if, by chance, the other person was very beautiful…
At least soone who could represent the bank’s image well must take care of their appearance, a professional woman, as long as she was chic and wealthy enough, could always dress neatly and shine.
She knew this much, so it was very likely that the other sister was a beauty…
Her mind continued to wander, and suddenly her charging phone rang.
She picked it up and saw it was a ssage from Wen Yangzhi. Glancing at him, she muttered:
“If you have sothing to say, you could just tell
directly. Why send a ssage—”
Her voice ca to an abrupt halt.
Wen Yangzhi spoke indifferently, “Take a look for yourself.”
Wen Yangzhi sent her a contact card for a friend.
She was stunned.
Upon clicking in, she saw that the person had set her Monts to be viewable to strangers for the last ten posts.
The girl in the Monts wasn’t particularly beautiful, but her charm was more about her air and deanor.
Her sense of crisis lessened slightly, but the other party still shared his ambitions, unlike herself; she certainly wouldn’t understand the banking matters her brother talked to her about.
Though she knew it wasn’t right, she still wanted her brother to be hers alone.
She thought that having a girlfriend would drive her out of control with jealousy, but it turned out that just having female friends and subordinates also made her mind wander uncontrollably.
It’s not necessarily true that every beautiful woman likes her brother—it’s wrong for her to always compare herself with others to ensure that her brother loves her the most.
Why regard others as hypothetical rivals?
She rembered that earlier that day, it seed that this na had called him, probably about banking matters as well.
Chances are they were simply dealing with work.
She stuttered a bit, “Why… why are you showing
this?”
He picked up the cup she had just drunk from, took a sip, put the cup down, and said offhandedly:
“Is she pretty?”
He was just going along with what she said.
Yun Yuwan felt a sinking feeling in her heart and involuntarily gripped her phone tighter,
“She’s quite pretty, has a good temperant, looks approachable; you two must get along really well normally.”
Noticing her sarcastic tone, he tilted his head slightly, giving her a scrutinizing look:
“What exactly do you want to ask?”
She found it embarrassing to articulate, “You and she both study finance, and you co from the sa school, sharing the sa ambitions and aspirations.”
He casually placed his phone on the table and looked at her seriously, “Who told you we share the sa ambitions and aspirations?”
Taking it seriously now, she felt even more upset.
Her head was lowered, “How could it not be? Both of you study finance, and both of you are working for the future of Wen’s.”
He cut her off, “Yun Yuwan.”
She looked up, puzzled, afraid that he was tired of her, “Hmm?”
Instead, he simply looked at her, his words deliberate and weighted, “My aspirations are the sa as yours.”
eting his calm and profound gaze, those words hamred into her ears, and she felt a tingling sensation throughout her body as if her bones had softened:
“My aspirations?”
… to be with Wen Yangzhi forever?
The longing that lasted for seven years, the aspiration to be with him?
He averted his gaze, didn’t answer, and gently patted her buttocks:
“Nannan, go to my room and fetch my cigarettes for , they’re in the pocket of my jacket.”
She hemd and hawed, “Can’t you not smoke, please?”
He remained expressionless, “If you don’t go up, I’ll still have to deal with this matter. It’s better out of sight, out of mind. Be good.”
Even though his expression was unreadable, her heart suddenly leapt, and she turned anger into joy, “Brother, are you trying to coax ?”
He looked up at her, “Are you going or not?”
Her excitent surged, “I’ll go right now.”
She ran upstairs joyfully; if her buttocks were split horizontally rather than vertically, she would undoubtedly be clapping them so loudly that the whole family could hear.
She entered his room, found his hanging jacket, and reached inside, but instead of cigarettes, she touched a ring box.
